Comment on Ask YC: Are you religous?parent

Comments

Most people would call me religious. I'm a practicing Mormon. I pray and believe that God answers my prayers. However, I hesitated to answer your original question because the label "religious" is mildly distasteful. It seems more external than internal, more political than spiritual.

As a practicer of my faith, I get plenty of chances to interact with people of my religion. So I don't feel much of a need for a 'religious' forum.

On the other hand, I do hunger for forums and other forms of social media where the standards that I hold are widely shared. I tried Reddit. It was great to have news and education combined. But in the end it wasn't worth wading through so many headlines, articles, and comments that were (to me) degrading in one way or another.

I love it here. I wouldn't call it at all religious. But the dialog is respectful and the people are interesting. I could use more places like this.

didn't mean to downvote - fatfingering on my new iPod touch.

I'm Mormon too, glad to know I'm not the only one. Email me.
